Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 600 - 332: Star Beast_3

It had already abandoned this nest, and Lu Yu found no traces of the star beast moving around.

In the harsh weather, those traces might have long been erased, otherwise, it would be hard for a giant creature to move without leaving any marks.

Lu Yu had no choice but to head in one direction; sooner or later, he would find the star beast.

As for whether he could defeat it, that would be decided upon finding it. If he couldn't, he'd just run away.

A super star beast capable of creating a thunderstorm cloud wouldn't be interested in small beings like them. It created the thunderstorm cloud in the sky merely as a warning to the strong not to step into the vicinity of the demon star.

As for those geniuses who were mistakenly struck down by the thunderstorm, they were just unlucky.

One must know, the thunderstorm only covered a third of the demon star. There's still two-thirds left where one could land safely. Those who didn't choose the right landing direction and died in the storm could only blame it on their fate.

After walking for an uncertain length of time, Lu Yu finally saw the figure of a star beast after climbing a hundred meter high stone pillar. The beast was rather small in size, seemingly easy to handle.

The strength of star beasts could be gauged by their size; the larger they were, the stronger they were, and the better they could withstand natural disasters.

As for that super star beast, nobody knows how long it has existed, surviving countless disasters without being destroyed.

Lu Yu hurriedly leaped down from the stone pillar, heading towards the star beast he spotted.

Given his speed, it didn't take long to reach the vicinity of the star beast. He lay at the top of a slope, observing a star beast over three hundred meters away.

The star beast looked like an oversized mouse, several hundred times its usual size, with no fur and a body surface covered in a rock-like material.

The star beast's natural defense—mineral armor. It's a special mineral on the demon star, extremely tough. If one's strength isn't sufficient to break through the mineral armor, there's no point in even mentioning hunting a star beast.

The mouse-like star beast sat on the ground, gnawing on a piece of black rock.

Upon closer inspection, the rock the mouse star beast was gnawing on was very similar to its mineral armor.

In fact, the black rock in its hands was indeed the mineral armor of another star beast.

Star beasts grow slowly; they can only absorb the energy of the demon star to grow, a process that takes a long time, especially for those just born.

For newly born star beasts, the biggest enemy is the various disasters on the demon star. They need to consume the mineral armor shed by stronger star beasts to accelerate their growth, preparing themselves to cope with future disasters to survive.

Lu Yu retrieved the Demon-Breaking Saber. As soon as he pulled it out of his backpack, he felt a force suppressing the saber's power, significantly weakening its attack capability.

The power of the Demon-Breaking Saber stems from the restrictions inscribed during its creation and the enhancements made by later Core Formation Realm experts.

But on the demon star, where the Heaven and Earth Law has collapsed, whether it's restrictions comprehended from the Heaven and Earth or the enhancements by Core Formation Realm experts, all relate to the Heaven and Earth Law.

On the demon star, with the Heaven and Earth Law devastated, the power of the restrictions within the Demon-Breaking Saber is nearly ineffectual.

Without being able to harness the power of its restrictions, the saber loses 30% of its strength due to the weakened enhancements, leaving it with only 40% of its power on the demon star.

Most spiritual weapons and treasures face this problem on the demon star. Hence, more emphasis is placed on the Martial Cultivator's own strength.

Lu Yu, feeling the current power output of the Demon-Breaking Saber, silently put it back into his backpack.

Star beasts are not demons; the Demon-Breaking Saber has no extra damage bonuses against them. Using the saber on the demon star results in more than five times the spiritual energy loss, making it less effective than using raw brute force.

With that in mind, Lu Yu hesitated no longer. He dashed from his hiding spot and activated the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step the moment his foot hit the ground.

Instantly crossing several hundred meters, he appeared before the star beast. The star beast, gnawing on the mineral stone, was taken aback at the sight of the suddenly appeared human. It was the first time it had seen something so small.

In its memory, all things were always larger star beasts, so it was exceptionally cautious.

Seeing for the first time a human much smaller than itself, the mouse star beast was perplexed.

Qi Blood gathered within him, and Lu Yu punched with all his might, striking heavily at the mouse star beast's leg.

He didn't rashly leap up to attack the beast's body or head; he wanted to first test its defensive capabilities.

The moment his fist hit the star beast's body, he felt the hard sensation at his fist's tip, registering pain.

Boom! The mouse star beast suddenly felt its calf being struck heavily, stumbling and falling, releasing the mineral stone from its embrace.

Lu Yu observed the beast's leg, at the spot struck by his full-force punch, a finger-wide crack appeared, about thirty centimeters deep, with a faint glimpse of the star beast's glowing purple blood inside.

The thirty centimeters were roughly like scratching the surface of the mouse star beast, not even causing it to bleed.

He now had a measure, understanding that without the Blood Burning Secret Technique or the Great Annihilation Finger, killing a small star beast would take considerable time to peel away its defenses.

Using the Blood Burning Secret Technique to unleash tenfold power, killing a small star beast would be relatively easy.

Provided the star beast didn't have any special abilities; otherwise, things could become much more complicated.

Lying on the ground, the star beast realized it was under attack. A row of crystals on its back began to glow...
